I just read it and.. damn. if I have a chance to meet Tori and talk to her, I'm going to thank her up and down for having the courage to do what she's doing with this album. cuz it's about time somebody did it, in my opinion. just.. damn. between Tori, Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails, this is looking to be a very good year for me, musically speaking. :D - -- Cyndi S.
